I'm In Artful Blogging and Somerset Home!

I used to pore over the issues of the beautiful magazine 'Artful Blogging' and be in awe of and somewhat intimidated by the talented bloggers that were featured.

So it's somewhat surreal to find myself and my little blog included in the latest issue!

I'm thrilled to say that I can now add 'published writer' to my list of credentials! :)

I must confess, it was fairly challenging for me to write a whole article about my 'story' and what blogging means to me. But now seeing the article and my photos in print, I feel proud of this personal accomplishment!
The message: Don't give up on your dreams! If I can do it, anyone can!!

I'm also excited to be featured in the new issue of Somerset Home!

I have a few pictures published in the back pages, along side some pretty amazing bloggers!

These publications are gorgeous, and filled with lots of eye candy and interesting articles; I'm honored to be included in them!
(You can purchase them in craft store retailers like Jo-Ann's and Michael's and in large bookstores, and also online.)

I am so grateful and feel so blessed for the opportunities that God has given me through this blog!

And from the bottom of my heart, I'm so thankful for each and every one of you that follow along with me, and support me on this blogging journey!

I can't wait to read your feature your Somerset, Susan! I won one of the copies Kris was giving away and can't wait for it to arrive and see all my bloggy friends. I will probably have to go to Barnes and Noble to find the Artful Blogging, but I'm due a treat! : )

I am so happy for you! I received a copy of the Somerset Home from Kris. I won one! I was thrilled to see you featured there. I didn't realize you were also in the Artful Blogging magazine too. What a thrill! Your pics looks great. I'll have to go look for it so I can read your article. That's so neat that you wrote it as well. Congratulations!

Congratulations Friend :) Not everybody gets to see their dreams come true but I'm sure happy that you have! And, I'm sure there are more dreams that you will see fulfilled in the months and years ahead! Congrats again! Blessings, Cindy

Susan,I am so excited for you to be in Artful Blogger. Woooo Hoooo this is so amazing just like you. So happy for you. Love that we are in Somerset together my friend along so many others we love. That is what makes that issue really special. When you come in October you will have to sign my copy! :)Kris

Congrats, Susan, and thank you for the heads up on where to purchase these magazines. I thought I would try BAM, but now that I know Michael's should have it, it'll make it easier to scout the stores side by side. :)Rita

Kudos to you! Being published is quite a feather in your cap! Rather, two feathers in your cap! I'll look for the magazines in the stores you mentioned--look forward to seeing the pictures and reading your story.

Congratulations Susan...you deserve it! Just the other day I was picking out some things at my Mother-n-Laws and got a "Slider Ovenex Starburst cake pan made in England" and I thought of you. I thought to myself, I can do something with this because you inspired me to add some vintage finds to my decor...Thanks Susan and hope others who see your published work will be inspired too! :)
